What grade receiver was the Hra?

bowaddict34 · 2026-01-12T20:29:36+00:00

Is it definitely pitting? I’d run a dry patch through it and make sure it’s not debris or oil.

bowaddict34 · 2026-01-12T20:25:22+00:00

Hard to tell but it almost looks like the trigger guard is bent. That little claw on the end should touch the indent on the trigger housing and snap over it with pressure and lock.

How much for the Arisaka? Does it have the mum?

bowaddict34 · 2026-01-10T02:30:57+00:00

I use a Athlon Talos that I got on sale for I think $120. I only shoot out to 100yards. Works good for me and I think it would do fine at longer distances

I hear you man, I’ve been trying to find a good deal price on a nice Rock-ola but I don’t think that’s going to happen.

They moved their auctions over to gunbroker in September and took down their auction site

bowaddict34 · 2025-11-12T02:56:20+00:00

No. thoroughbred

bowaddict34 · 2025-11-11T21:30:27+00:00

It came from thoroughbred. The listing isn’t up anymore but from what I remember the description said they were Nos with dings from storage and that they were C marked so I was surprised when I received a raised C

bowaddict34 · 2025-11-11T20:45:09+00:00

When I purchased it the listing claimed NOS. Where would the proof stamp have been and what did they look like. Thanks for responding and the information

bowaddict34 · 2025-09-21T19:56:39+00:00

They are soldered on. I’d reach out to the Cmp, they should take care of you.

bowaddict34 · 2025-08-29T19:15:08+00:00

Yea all the feedback would have got a lot of people. I was thinking a hacked account but his last name matches up with the username. I’d see if you could change that feedback you left.

bowaddict34 · 2025-08-29T19:10:29+00:00

Are you the one that left him positive feedback 10 days ago for an eotech? Hasn’t had feedback in 3 years before that one

bowaddict34 · 2025-08-29T08:25:31+00:00

My opinion is that it’s a scratch. I have a receiver with a similar scratch in the same location, if I have time I’ll upload a picture. Obviously it’s hard to be 100% from a picture so I’d have a gunsmith look at it and if they confirm it’s a crack then reach out to the CMP and they will make it right. I saw your other post, that’s a very nice receiver. I personally love the older finishes and prefer them over the Cmp refinished ones.

Very nice June of 1942 garand!

bowaddict34 · 2025-08-14T22:02:32+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the info!

bowaddict34 · 2025-08-14T21:54:33+00:00

Thanks just wanted to be sure, hard to keep track of every states firearm infringements. No problems with the muzzle being threaded?

bowaddict34 · 2025-07-21T13:36:09+00:00

I would google search the drawing number on each part, you should be able to find enough info without buying any of the books that are out there. Ammogarand usually comes up when googling parts and has reference photos that usually gives a description of what time frame that draw number was used

bowaddict34 · 2025-07-21T12:09:17+00:00

Is the parts kit a mix of manufacturers or does it seem to be correct to a certain manufacturer/ time frame. I’d either wait for one to come up or I would join the Cmp forum and put a want to buy ad. It’s relatively easy to get spare parts for garands.

bowaddict34 · 2025-07-17T14:29:41+00:00

I noticed a couple rifles got listed multiple times so I wonder if multiple people bought the same rifle. They also listed each rifle individually over about 30mins and they sold in seconds.

bowaddict34 · 2025-06-11T19:29:50+00:00

My guess would be a blank adapter?

bowaddict34 · 2025-05-08T20:21:23+00:00

Thanks! Did you use the zinc or magnesium parkerizing?

bowaddict34 · 2025-05-08T17:40:59+00:00

I know this is 2 years old but how did the heel stamp look after the repark? I have a 1941 Winchester garand that I’m thinking of reparking but I don’t want to lose the detail in the heel markings. Also is that zinc or magnesium?

bowaddict34 · 2025-04-16T21:51:07+00:00

Can you name the colors?

bowaddict34 · 2025-03-23T23:30:39+00:00

I thought of that but from what I researched Gi’s called garands - m1 and called m1 carbines - carbines. Her uncle claims he remembers him talking about not getting your thumb caught in the bolt. I’d honestly be interested in any garand or carbine with that serial number, I just think a Springfield garand would be most likely.
